A Midnight Escape
So long ago on a farm with a radio
cozied up listening to fireside chats
is where I found a love divine, strong like this house of mine
built by these arms that now hold her back
She's in search of her mother
a midnight escape
and he knows that the holes in her mind are to blame
now a frightened old woman, he holds her hand tight
and guides her in peace to the end of her life
He wakes up alone she's gone
finds her out standing on
windblown and soaked by the rain
the edge of that busy street only wet socks on her
hope's gone and he's left with her pain
She's in search of her mother
a midnight escape
and he knows that the holes in her mind are to blame
now a frightened old woman, he holds her hand tight
and guides her in peace to the end of her life
